Ive owned my classic for approx 2 1/2 yrs now and have always wanted the carbon centre console. Nitrosports did make the product but believe they no longer do and ask anyone try to ring them and you never get an answer.

Some examples of what im after:

guys
i have sent a full set of my01 dash panels (heater surrounds/stereo surround/cup tray/door handles etc) off to be done,i will post some pics up when they are back tomorrow i have been told

Anyway,the hole job including postage has cost me £35,so watch this space for quality of product etc

if they come back with a top finish,i will contact the company and see if we can get some sort of reduced rate/fixed pricing guide for the differant panels

cheers mark

ok guys!!!
i have got my dash panels back from being carbon dipped,they look really well and are finished to a good standard

The total cost was £69.99(inc postage/courier costs and vat)
they were done through my local RIPSPEED halfords store,but they told me only RIPSPEED X stores,and not normal ripspeed stores are doing the panel dipping

i am just trying to sort out my showoffyourcar account and then i will stick up some pics,anyone at the NBO please give me a shout and you are more then welcome to have a gander at the finished panels

cheers mark

Default Company details of carbon trimmers

Ok guy's
after some internet investigation,i have found the company that does the carbon trimming,details below-

Ashford International Ltd
International House, 61-71, Littleton Rd, Ashford, Middlesex TW15 1UU
Tel: 01784 424720

i have not spoke to them personally,but these are the guys who did my dash trim,may well be worth dealing with them direct,to avoid halfrauds cut on the trimming costs

Cheers - do you know if they have those finishes in the shops as examples? I'd really like to match up with my current Subaru carbon effect - I reckon the plain 'carbon' will match compared to the more lined versions.

Can they cover over light marks?

Anyone know the closest Ripspeed to Hull? Our local Halfords has a section selling Ripspeed stuff, does this mean they will do it?

Cheers

its only the ripspeed x stores matey,i dont think the one in hull is an x store
the main store in sheffield has a few examples on display(door handles/grille's/alloys etc) and the finish is superb on them all
